Abstract
A portable mixing module for preparing solutions and slurries from particulate solid material. The module comprises a portable frame, and an eductor-mixer mounted on and movable with the frame. The eductor-mixer has a first inlet for connection to a source of fluent particulate material, a second inlet for connection to a source of pressurized working fluid, and a discharge for discharging a mixture of the fluent particulate material and the working fluid at a first rate. A surge tank is mounted on and movable with the frame for receiving the mixture discharge from the eductor-mixer. A pump is mounted on and movable with the frame. It has an intake connected to the outlet of the surge tank and a discharge for connection to an outfeed line for delivery of mixture from the surge tank to a remote location. The pump is operable to pump mixture from the surge tank at a second flow rate not substantially less than the first flow rate.
